Q ) How was your life in pre-IIT days and motivation behind joining IITK?
Ans.) I was highly interested in mathematics from high school and some of my
teachers really motivated me a lot into it. We had great times in DPS RK Puram and
peer were very supportive. As I was inclined towards Mathematics ,I also cleared
RMOs thus I thought of joining IISC or ISI for continuing core subject but my peer
suggested me to give IIT exam ,which of course I did and then I joined Mechanical
Engineering in IIT Kanpur. My teachers also motivated into debating and dramatics
in DPS RK Puram. I also picked up basketball as a sport and will advise all to develop
interest in any of the sport of your choice because it inculcates team spirit and
feeling of mutual understanding which is essential in day to day life.
Q) How would you describe your four years at IITK and what qualities you
groomed in your persona over this span?
Ans. The life at IIT prepares you to face challenges in real life. Every subject has its
own importance and you realize it only when you actually study it. Whatever you
do, do it with all your heart and make the most out of it. You should try to develop
interest, identify your strength and weaknesses. Look for guidance and support and
talk to experienced seniors in the field so that you know what you actually are and
what exactly is it in your branch. Dont try to be a superman pretending to be
omniscient, talk to seniors and seek advice from experts.
Regarding co-curricular, I took Dramatics and Basketball. I learnt a lot of important
lessons of life and rules of leadership and team spirit in the game of basketball,
which are important for everyone.
I was also involved in Antaragni and Techkriti. I was among the founder of ELS and
also associated with counselling service as a student guide. Dramatic background
helped me a lot in developing my communication skills. Unfortunately, we didnt
have galaxy during our span of four years.
I learnt how to figure things out-i.e. what my passion really lies in? Where are my
strengths and weakness? I did learn some significant lessons from sports-always
put your team before yourself. During Placement sessions I also learnt that what
really matters is your interest and knowledge, CPI do matter but not too much.
You should be able to put your thought out and pursue your true interest and finally
confidence is the key to success. Summing it all up:
The sooner you realize your goal, the better the life gets although its not that
easy.
